2015 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah, August 3 to 9

[DBotero]

Hopefully Dombrowski will shine here.Danielson vs Horner should be good,but i don't see Horner beating Tommy D.

Wow Phinney and Stetina are riding! It will be good to see how they have come out of rehabs. Especially Phinney, he's been out for over a year.

BTW live coverage daily on FOXSports 1. Hopefully better coverage than the drivel from ROOT in the last few years.

Thanks for the streaming info Carols, updated the OP.

And it will be imense to see Phinney back on the bike, and Stetina too. They'll have lots of support there, best race for them to come back.

The Tour of Utah's Tour Tracker was amazing last year, too. It's also quite free.

As for watching live, I'll be seeing the women's crit in Ogden on Tuesday at 11:30a.m., the SLC circuit race on Friday, and spending the weekend in Park City with some friends in order to see the final two stages.

Mrs. Tibbs is doing a triathlon at Jordanelle Saturday morning, but it's only an Olympic distance and she'll be in the water at 7:30, so we're planning on having plenty of time to get to Empire Pass before the peloton does.

Preferred last year's route.

No Powder Mountain is a disappointment.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

So it's back again to "Tour of Greater Salt Lake City"? Disappointing.

Thanks for the preview!
No coverage in Europe it seems, but http://tourtracker.tourofutah.com/ looks promising ;-)

It's outstanding. Minus the Replay feature, it's basically the same thing that I paid NBC Sports $30 for to watch that French race this year.

 

[zlev11]

looks like this has a replay feature too

Yeah it does. Basically you can rewind during live, but that feature stops working after the transmission is over.

Nice to see Stetina at the start-line, but by his own admission he's only had 2.5 weeks training after major reconstructive patella surgery. At best, he'll make one or two grupettos before abandoning. What's the point? Why keep another rider out of the race, and why risk developing a host of other chronic tendinopathic issues by pushing it too early? I'm not a part of his medical team, but if his injury was as serious as has been reported, I'm really surprised they're letting him race.

Re:

Is Horner still struggling with his health?

No specific reference to that mysterious lung infection here http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/horner-ready-to-light-up-the-climbs-at-tour-of-utah/ but apparently he's feeling good.

 

[pastronef]

so, now that Danielson does not start and Horner´s form in unknown, who are the favourites for the win?

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Brajkovic, Jaramillo, Berhane, and Horner seem the favorites now to me

 

[pastronef]

Re:

I´d dream of a Jani victory but he´s been almost invisible this year, both in races and on twitter

 

[Enrico Gimondi]

Lachlan Morton for the win!

 

[TMP402]

Interested to see what Ryan Mullen and Tao Geoghan Hart can do. I wonder too if Goss can win a stage.

 

[BigMac]

edit: Cannondale has not withdrawn from the race.

 

[snccdcno]

They are still in, some guy misreading the press release causing the rumour it seems.

Re:

Yeah just read Neal's tweet.

 

[BigMac]

The stage is underway now.

[BigMac]

Various attacks, riders trying to form a break. First 4 pulled back in. Smartstop rider trying to go free. Budget Forklifts, Colombia, Jelly Belly, a Hincapie and what seems to be a Trek, too.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Bookwalter is also in good form and will probably have peaked for this

 

[BigMac]

The break:

Johann Van Zyl for MTN
Carlos Ramirez for Colombia
Joe Schmalz for Hincapie
Emerson Oronte for Smartstop
Gregory Daniel for AXEON
David Williams for Jamis
Josh Berry for Budget Forklifts

Surprised to see Greg in the fornt.

They're riding fairly early, aren't they? Normally those US-races are around midnight my-time.

They've started fairly early, 9:20 MST but there's probably more to it than just that. I can't find an explanation.
